Boulder Peak is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods. Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was initially uplifted beginning 170 million years ago when the Lewis Overthrust fault pushed an enormous slab of precambrian rocks 3 mi (4.8 km) thick, 50 miles (80 km) wide and 160 miles (260 km) long over younger rock of the cretaceous period.
Green Mountain is a mountain summit on the eastern flank of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America.The 8,148-foot (2,484 m) peak is located in Boulder Mountain Park, 4.2 miles (6.8 km) southwest by south (bearing 219°) of downtown Boulder in Boulder County, Colorado, United States.
In geology, a boulder (or rarely bowlder) [1] is a rock fragment with size greater than 25.6 cm (10.1 in) in diameter. [2] Smaller pieces are called cobbles and pebbles . While a boulder may be small enough to move or roll manually, others are extremely massive. [ 3 ]
dh = elevation difference, dx = distance, S = slope, θ = angle of slope (inclination). The velocity on the flat terrain is 5 km / h, the maximum speed of 6 km / h is achieved roughly at -2.86°. [5] On flat terrain this formula works out to 5 km/h. For off-path travel, this value should be multiplied by 3/5, for horseback by 5/4. [1]
The Boulder Mountains are a mountain range running roughly north to south located west of Boulder between Helena and Butte in the U.S. state of Montana. [1] Parts of the range are in four different counties: Deer Lodge, Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, and Silver Bow. [1] Haystack Mountain, which reaches 8,819 feet (2,688 m), is the tallest peak in ...
